Meet With Six Industry Luminaries in the Design and Construction Field: Finith Jernigan  •  John Jurewicz  •  Willem Kymmell Deke Smith  •  Michael Tardif  •  Paul Teicholz BIM Roadmap 2010: The Authors’ Series – BIM Evolution 2010 & Beyond   Webinar Series Starts: Wednesday, March 10, 2010 Reserve your space today! In four live webinar events, authors of the original four industry-recognized Building Information Modeling (BIM) books describe how BIM has evolved since writing their first book, what they would, and will, do differently this time around, and how you should direct your business to take maximum advantage of BIM going forward.   Session 1 — BIM Evolution: From Drafting Aid to Preferred Design Tool, Finith Jernigan Wednesday, March 10, 2010 • 1:00-2:30 EST Session 2 — Planning and Managing Design and Construction Projects, Willem Kymmell Wednesday, March 17, 2010 • 1:00-2:30 EST Session 3 — Guide to Building Information Modeling – Implementation & Methods, Paul Teicholz and John Jurewicz Wednesday, March 31, 2010 • 1:00-2:30 EST Session 4 — BIM Strategy – The Business Development and Management Process, Deke Smith and Michael Tardif Wednesday, April 7, 2010 • 1:00-2:30 EST  Learn first hand from their research, case studies and day-to-day involvement using the complete array of BIM tools what works and what doesn’t. Before you invest any more of your time and company’s resources, decide what you want to achieve with BIM and what level is right for you. Plus, we've added an extended 20 minute question and answer period; providing you with a unique opportunity to interact with these authors to help you with your specific questions. In addition, all series participants will receive Finith Jernigan’s pioneering book: BIG BIM little bim.   Register Now!   Special Bonus Offer - Best Value! Sign-up for the Complete Series and Save more than 40% • Registration for all four live events • CD copy and handouts of each event for your personal and company training needs • A free copy of BIG BIM little bim:  This 295-page book provides tools needed to synthesize and reuse complex data, solve problems early in the design-build process, save costs, and increase profits and productivity. Using virtual information models and the latest technology, you will streamline decision making, improve project visualization, and achieve superior results during design, construction and more! Session 1 — Wednesday, March 10, 2010 BIM Evolution: From Drafting Aid to Preferred Design Tool Instructor: Finith Jernigan, author of the first published BIM book, BIG BIM little bim.  For bio, click here. Join Finith as he recaps the value proposition of BIM and how it has evolved since the book was first published in 2007 and the second edition in 2008. BIM's early promise as a 3D design tool to enhance productivity for architects and engineers has transformed itself into an indispensible tool for contractors, and an asset management tool for owners. BIM is also transforming the way we do business, enabling more fluid design-build delivery and opening the way to Integrated Project Delivery (IPD).  Join Finith as he builds on the knowledge of his first book (which all series attendees will receive), including: Four-phase framework for integrating BIM into existing practice Seven steps to guide your way Day-to-day process and expectations Future direction  And much more! In addition, a 20 minute period has been reserved at the end of the presentation for an interactive question-and-answer session so you can discuss specific issues or gain additional knowledge about Finith's presentation.     Forward to a Colleague! Session 2 — March 17, 2010 • 1:00 - 2:30 PM EST Planning and Managing Design and Construction Projects Instructor: Willem Kymmell, author of Building Information Modeling - Planning and Managing Construction.  For bio, click here.  Projects with 4D CAD and Simulations, will provide highlights from his book published in 2008, including why BIM works, the concepts and challenges. You will also learn how to make BIM work for your projects, from planning BIM to implementing BIM.  His new book, to be published by McGraw Hill in 2011 entitled “BIM by Example,” is entirely based on case studies from the design and construction industries. He will give you a sneak peak at what to expect in the new book, through case studies he will present, including how to assess a project and how to learn from a project.  From his research for the books and his many years of experience in the industry, he will share: Why use BIM and what works What you should be aware of to bring all the elements together for BIM How to set goals for BIM Session 3 — March 31, 2010 • 1:00 - 2:30 PM EST  Guide to Building Information Modeling – Tools, Technologies and Methods Instructors: Paul Teicholz, co-author of the BIM Handbook, and John Jurewicz, noted construction technology lecturer and columnist for Construction Project Controls and BIM Report.  For bios, click here. Building Information Modeling is for owners, facility managers, architects/engineers, contractors, subcontractors and fabricators. Discover technology and methods to best apply BIM. Only two years old, the BIM Handbook is already undergoing a comprehensive update and you can get a jump start on how you should implement BIM now. Also benefit from insight on John’s upcoming BIM methods book as well. Join Paul and John as they provide up-to-the-minute BIM technology analysis that can save you money and time on your BIM solutions research.    Session 4  — April 7, 2010 • 1:00 - 2:30 PM EST The Business Development and Management Process Instructors: Deke Smith and Michael Tardif co-authors of Wiley’s Building Information Modeling: A Strategic Implementation Guide.  For bios, click here. The organizational strategy approach to Building Information Modeling is just as critical as the design and engineering implementation. Long-range goals, company policies and procedures, ROI analysis, cost/benefit studies and the “people” approach to training and implementation all have significant impact on the degree of BIM usage and success. Deke Smith, Executive Director of the buildingSMART alliance, and Michael Tardif, design/construction analyst, architect and now BIM Implementation Director for a major construction company, provide guidelines for your use on planning or updating your organization’s BIM strategy with insight and practical tips on integrating BIM with minimum risk and maximum benefits. For one low price, you can obtain critical money-saving training for your entire team with radically reduced per-person registration fees . . .  no travel expense . . . no lodging or per-diem expenses . . .  and overwhelmingly reduced opportunity costs which inevitably result from time out of the office.
